"Have you guys seen Elijah?!" Jacob asked frantically to Raya and Myles, on the verge of tears. He hadn't seen Elijah in two weeks. The first week being at his parents but the week he came back, he hasn't heard from Elijah nor seen him. He even went to the room and the roommate hasn't seen Elijah either.

"No he hasn't been to work for a week now. We thought he was finally taking a break from here. You haven't seen him?" Raya asked, coming from behind the cash register and standing in front of Jacob. Jacob shook his head and he looked over at Jaden who didn't know he was there until he looked up. He walked over and hugged Jacob.

"What's wrong baby boo?" Jaden asked while holding Jacob close and kissing his forehead softly. Jaden looked around at everybody's worried face and frowned up. "Why everybody look so distraught?"

"I - have you seen Elijah? I don't know where he's at! He hasn't been in his room and..." Jacob spoke frantically and put his head in his hands. "I-i'm scared for him."

"I told him to stay away from that boy." Jaden sighed and everybody looked at Jaden crazily. "His name is Mike and Elijah been fooling around with him. I know y'all knew about it but Mike is bad news i'm telling y'all." As if on cue, Mike walked in the store and Jaden's eyes immediately went to him. "That's him"

Jacob ran up to Mike and grabbed his shirt. "Where the fuck is Elijah?!" Jacob screamed at him. Jaden ran over and grabbed Jacob. "WHERE THE FUCK IS HE?!"

"Woah woah...I have no idea where he is. I haven't seen Elijah since a week ago. I had his phone because i was getting it fixed for him. It was practically shattered." Mike pulled out the phone and Jacob's eyes stared at it. "I went to his room to give it back to him but he wasn't there so I came here but obviously he ain't here by the way you screaming at me."

Jacob calmed down a bit and snatched the phone away from Mike. "How the fuck did his phone break? He never breaks his phone?! What the fuck aren't you telling me?!"

"I understand you're freaking out and i lowkey am too but you have to relax. Listen last week, he was running and ran over me which resulted him in hurting his wrist and cracking his phone. This dude named Ray, or Rayan was chasing him. The next day, i told him i would fix the phone for him, he gave me a room number and i haven't seen him since. I thought he was safe but I guess not." Mike breathed out and then frowned up because he was honestly becoming worried about Elijah.

"R-ray? Ray was chasing after him? W-was another dude with Ray?" Jacob asked Mike and then began crying because he knows who had Elijah and he was freaking out.

"Yes some other guy...Jon. I promise you that if I knew where Elijah was, I would tell you. I'm worried now. I didn't know he was missing. I-i'm sorry." Mike pouted a bit and Jacob nodded.

"Ray and Jon have him but I don't know where. I don't know what Ray wants with Elijah because he made it evident that he didn't care about him at all and now all of a sudden he wants him or wants to be around him." Jacob sighed and pulled at his curly afro for a second.

"Okay here let's exchange numbers and if we can both look for him separately or if something happens then we'll let each other know." Mike suggested and Jacob nodded.

Once they went there separate ways, they looked all over for Elijah but there was still no sign of him and everybody was beginning to worry about him. Mike sat at home, hoping that Jacob would call him on hopeful news that Elijah was found but still nothing happened. It was hurting Mike that he didn't know where Elijah was because then he could help him. He could save Elijah from Ray (after whooping his ass of course).

Time passed and neither Mike or Jacob got a glimpse of getting closer to where Elijah could be. Mike knew he should've walked Elijah to his room that day but he thought he would be okay alone but now he knows to never leave him alone. He knew he'll kill Ray and that Jon person the first chance he gets but until then he'll just have to suffice with the internal fact that as long as Elijah comes back safe and unharmed then he'll do.

It hit 3 in the morning and Mike couldn't sleep. He wasn't going to sleep until he knew Elijah was safe. But almost as if his prayers were getting answer, there was frantic knocking on his door. Quickly opening up the door stood Elijah with bruises along side his face and around his neck.

"H-help.." He managed to peep out and then passed out in Mike's arms.
